Jeff is a good guy, but I don't understand using "M" for 1,000. To me, that's a "K".

You're thinking in terms of the metric system; Jeff was taught to read Roman numerals.

[edlmann]

M=1,000 & C=100 have been standard notations in commerce for many years.

Over 2000.

MM = thousand thousand or 1 million (6 zeros). just adding to the useless trivia in the thread.

Oops should have mentioned this was int he context of natural gas voumes and the Oil and Gas world, worry. See my comments below.

MM = 2,000 not 1million a M with we a line over it is 1million, we are in the of year of MMXI = 2011.

Roman numeral.

M = 1000

Metric system adopted in 1895, by most of Europe

K = negative 10,000

Computer system langauge

K = 1000

So just which numeral K are we talking about.

As 99 % of the people are using it in the wrong text. Kinda like starting a sentence in English and throwing a Chinese or German word in the middle and thinking all of us will understand it.

Wow has this thread taken a left turn. It's all interesting data for us triviaphiles though so keep it up.

Sorry guys , I was playing in another world. The world of natural gas.

MM is 1, 000, 000 when talking about gas volumes in the Oil and Gas world. Just adding to the confusion.

mcf is thousand cubic feet, mmcf is thousand thousand cubic feet or 1,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas.

anyway way off topic with that one. sorry guys.

Computer system langauge

K = 1000

So just which numeral K are we talking about.

My computer K is 1024(decimal).
